ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Keywords: Dielectric Resonators, Radial Mode Matching, Whispering Gallery Modes
The aim of this investigation was to develop accurate modelling techniques to determine the resonant
frequencies of dielectric resonators. These resonators could be simple dielectric posts, rings
or combinations of these two. To do this, a radial mode matching technique was implemented
and applied to a post resonator, a ring resonator and finally a combination of the two. The
resulting method was used to develop a model of a high-Q whispering gallery mode resonator
consisting of a post and a ring resonator combination with an spurious free region region.
